[pure-silver] Re: Semi OT copyright

Charles,

Look at the US copyright office website for information on copyrights. The
relevant legislation has been updated at least once in the US since 1966 and
at least one of the pieces of legislation retroactively changed the
copyright law.

You need to look carefully because of the date & the medium. The relevant
legislation may be different for photographs taken then than now. Also, it
is common for photographs to have copyright protections that are less than
other mediums.

Hi, All ...

I've recently dug out some old 35mm tri-x negatives I made during a 1966
civil rights march on behalf of James Meredith. They include shots of many
now famous people including Martin Luther King, James Farmer, Floyd
McKissack, Stokley Carmichael, Fannie Lou Hamer and others. To my surprise
they print very well and I'm thinking of making some fine art prints to
offer on eBay or through a gallery.

However, I want to remain in control of any publication of these images. 
Can I offer prints to the art market and still retain publication rights
and, if so, how?
